Playground Promises

Echoes of laughter, under the sun

Where we drew hearts, thinking we’d won

Whispers of dreams, with our hands intertwined

Oh, those playground promises left behind

Remember the summer, when we carved our names

In the old oak tree, playing silly games

You said forever, we’d chase clouds in the sky

But seasons changed, and so did our lives

You were my first, the spark in my soul

But promises faded, they took a toll

Now I walk alone, where we used to play

With fragments of words that just slipped away

Playground promises, written in sand

All of your whispers, slipping through my hands

We dreamed of forever, but never stayed true

Just playground promises, broken in two

Time moves forward, but memories stay

Now there’s a boy who knows just what to say

He holds my heart in a cautious embrace

But shadows of old loves still linger in place

He tells me his secrets, like we did long ago

But trust is a river, it’s hard to let flow

Can he be the one to break through this haze?

Or will we find comfort in a reckless phase?

Playground promises, written in sand

All of your whispers, slipping through my hands

We dreamed of forever, but never stayed true

Just playground promises, broken in two

But what if one day, I find something real?

A love that won’t waver, that knows how to feel

I’ll learn to believe in more than just play

To build something strong, let the games fade away

So here’s to the vows that shape our hearts still

Permanent promises, crafted with will

Not like the whispers of days gone by

These are the oaths that will never say goodbye

Permanent promises, I’m ready for truth

Not playground promises, but love that’s in bloom
